Re: Sonic Core add-on repository

It's certainly an interesting idea, and would be really useful for people reinstalling from scratch or coming to the platform fresh. It would only be as good as the data in the repository, so it would take quite some effort to get the repository populated and tagged in the first place. You'd probabl...

Re: Need help with php / mySql

Please choose a framework. Joomla or Drupal or something similar (if you want PHP). I may be wrong, but I think using a framework for this may be overkill. I just want a single new page where people can search for patches. If I use a framework, won't I have to move my whole site into the framework?...

Re: Need help with php / mySql

Well... Prepare your db for dynamics queries, made by the web user. Safe stored procedures in the database, to be accessed from php. If you can manage to do so... Maybe also give a try to open source mongodb object db, if you prefer to drive things the object way in your web app and manage document...

Re: Need help with php / mySql

Can't help with the php, but I can make a suggestions re the data model. I think a table of 3rd party add-ons would be usefull. You could then add a patch-to-3PL union table ( patch_id / 3PL_ID combinations ) which would establish all the prerequisite add-ons for a given patch. A user could then go...

Re: Whose using SoundCloud?

Sorted the problem I was having with yahooplayer. In fact all embedded MP3 players gave the same problem - some problem with the original mp3 encoding (possibly using Variable Bit Rate encoding). All files are now re-encoded, and I've switched my samples page over to using the yahooplayer. Very easy...

Need help with php / mySql

Dear Pulsarians, I'm finally going to do something I've been talking about for ages, which is to create a database of all the patches ever created for the Pulsar Modular. The idea is to have a database which is searchable by author, date, modular version, etc, and to try and make every patch ever cr...

Re: Whose using SoundCloud?

Have been experimenting with Yahoo Media Player. What's really cool about it is that you don't need to add anything to your site and you don't need to host your tracks anywhere else. You just add a single line to your web page and it automatically adds a link to all the MP3s on the page. Here's a ne...

Re: Whose using SoundCloud?

I created a soundcloud account so that I could investigate using the embedded player on my site. It's very easy to use and you can see a couple of examples here: http://www.modularsynth.co.uk/samples.shtml However, you can only use the mini player if you sign up for a Lite Account (29 EU a year), so...

Re: Modular IV Online Reference for ScopeRise

Brilliant - thanks. Few missing I think - the P1 Oscillator and Terrain Oscillators for starters. There's a full list here: http://www.modularsynth.co.uk/modulepages/v4_modules.shtml I read the manual for the terrain oscillators, but I'm still none the wiser! They are '3D wavetable oscillators'.... ...

There might be some bugs on our new website. Please feel free to report :) Well, there's LOTS of German content on the English language pages. You probably know about this already, but I can provide a list if required. But very glad to see the platform is still being actively worked on - sometimes ...

Simple Find and replace has sorted it out very quickly.
Lots of other dead links though to old Creamware pages, etc, which do need tidying up.
It's a slow process....

I was amazed to discover that modularsynth.co.uk is 10 years old tomorrow! During that time I've tried to document pretty much every new development that's happened for our beloved modular synth, and make a record of every new patch and module that's been created. I've been working on a revamped pic...
